My sweeping hobby began several years ago, by accident.
Upon my return from a much needed vacation celebrating the completion of my breast cancer treatments, I was immediately trying to figure out how to budget another visit. But with four children, it was just not going to happen again anytime soon.
I began researching online travel discounts and came across a sweepstakes giving away a trip to Las Vegas. I promptly entered and continued my research, which led me to a whole slew of other sweepstakes.
My "sweeping" hobby had begun.
I do not enter/sweep in order to simply "win". There are tons of sweepstakes out there that are a "gimme" - lots of smaller prizes to be had. After a couple years of having a closet full of stuff I really had no use for, I became more selective in what I will invest my time entering for.
I have taken several "breaks" from sweeping throughout the years, as I get bored with it rather easily, but the more recent evolving of social media methods of entry do keep it slightly more interesting these days.
This blog is my personal way of keeping organized with all of the things that my hobby has provided to my family.
